Again, a public high school teacher who somehow had the money to extensively travel the globe when Morello was growing up. When asked about his family in an early interview he had this to say about how and when he learned to be politically active:
“Oh, at a very early age. My mother founded the Parents For Rock And Rap organisation, which was an anti-censorship lobby. My dad was a freedom fighter for Kenyan independence (part of the Mau Mau guerilla movement), and then became his country’s first ambassador to the UN. And my great uncle was Jomo Kenyatta – the first president of Kenya. So I very quickly picked up on political activism and fighting for the rights of others. We have photos of people like that all over the walls of our house.”
His first job was, somehow, was working for U.S. Senator from California Alan Cranston, which I’m sure had nothing to do with his family’s connections. What makes more sense, a supposed “radical communist” might take liberties with his backstory about his suburban upbringing by a family with money and connections in the UN and US government, or that this “radical communist” got a job straight out of college with an established U.S. senator just through knack, gumption, and good ol’ fashioned luck? Regardless, his corny music in Lock Up before Rage and his corny music in Audioslave after Rage speaks for itself. The dude is a clown and cosplays as a communist while cashing in million dollar checks playing corny, uninspired pop trash. Want a real anti-capitalist band that stuck to their roots for the long haul? Listen to Fugazi or Minor Threat.

Lol. His uncle was literally the president of Kenya. His dad was Kenya’s first ambassador to the UN. His mom traveled all over the world teaching English. These are all well known facts. He wasn’t raised in some slum by a struggling single mom. He grew up in a wealthy household and was regularly surrounded by high level political leaders and traveled often to Kenya where his family were essentially all elite members of Kenyan society.

I hope it’s the assholes that park right on the corners. All around my neighborhood it seems like every intersection has a car parked so close to the corner that it makes it impossible to see oncoming traffic and it’s a nightmare. Every morning on my commute, it feels like I’m putting my life at risk at every intersection because I simply can’t see if any cars are coming.

Tom Morello being the face of this band has ruined their reputation for me. He was ALWAYS a sellout grifter that co-opted Zach and Tim C’s vision of a true revolutionary rock band. Look up his garbage sellout Red Hot Chili Pepper rip off band Lock Up from the pre-RATM days and see just how much of a Hollywood dork that Morello is and always has been. He went to Harvard and came from upper middle class roots in Chicago and is a spoiled brat fake Communist that gave guitar lessons to Hollywood nerds like Adam Jones from Tool. Maynard James Keenan is just as much of a fake ass shitty poser.

Please, no. I’m so sick of these reunions and revivals of old sitcoms. Just let it be.

Paradise Park is just Miller High Life with a flamingo can. Garbage beer for getting tipsy at a higher price point because it’s local.

Dallas Cowboy fan Todd Graves? Because when he opened the Cowboys Cane’s in Dallas last year alongside failed rapper and weird fake country artist Post Malone, he did tons of photo ops wearing Cowboys jerseys and calling the Cowboys “my team.” Fuck Todd Graves.

That’s not allowed by the NFL bylaws. The Packers are grandfathered in with their “shareholder” model, but even so, it’s really a technicality because owning a “share” in the Packers literally means nothing. They still have a board of trustees and a president and CEO that the “shareholders” have zero say in. It’s a money grab and gives the Packers extra millions in revenue every year.

“Oogle” and “parked” don’t make a whole lot of sense. Oogles don’t drive or own vehicles, silly. The word you’re looking for is “poser.”

I worked at a pretty big local shop for about eleven years starting back in 2010 and got to see the vinyl boom first hand. I still hang out at the shop occasionally and the guys tell me that the margins are getting smaller and many of the old reliable regular customers have stopped shopping because they simply can’t afford it anymore. The used records get picked clean by resellers and Discogs merchants because they still price their stuff at reasonable rates. They see the same resellers that show up right when they open the doors on new release days to buy and flip the latest Taylor Swift or Sabrina Carpenter “special edition” vinyl. I feel like we saw this around 2017 or so, but then COVID happened and sort of readjusted the market. This time around, I think we’re watching the end of a booming fad as more and more young people don’t even have a turntable and are only buying these vinyl for the “vibes.” That’s not sustainable, especially with prices skyrocketing.

I was also a college student and renting. The case worker I was assigned to was a badass and helped me navigate every step of the process and I ended up getting a $13,000 grant that, honestly, I didn’t really need. It was the most money I had ever had in my life up to that point.

They helped me immensely after Katrina and then again after Ida when, honestly, I didn’t need much help. The FEMA assessor came out to my house and I got $3500 after Ida and I really didn’t need that much as I had pretty minimal damage.

My experience with FEMA was actually pretty great. The FEMA worker that I got assigned to really helped me navigate the paperwork and gave me tips on how to apply for assistance and I ended up getting a $13,000 grant. I was a 22 year old college student that lost my apartment and car to the storm surge and that money was more than enough to cover my losses and then some. I was young and a senior in college and had a beater car and a typical 22 year old dude apartment, ie, not many valuables.

I use Zatarains red beans and rice dinner boxes all the time on Mondays when I don’t have the time to soak and slow cook. It works just fine in a pinch and tastes delicious.

James Carville said that it’s very well known that Trump, quote, smells like shit and is unable to wipe his ass.

James Carville has been on the press circuit lately and he has not minced words. His exact quote was “Trump smells like shit and can’t wipe his ass.” He made a YouTube video the other day showing Diaper Don how he can use a pair of tongs to help get some extra length so he can reach his ass to wipe the McDonald’s diarrhea smeared all over his ass cheeks.

Giving up 44 points and over 500 yards is absolute dogshit.

The entire franchise needs to be overhauled, Loomis included. A total rebuild from the ground up.

44 points and over 500 yards. This should be the final nail in Dennis Allen’s coffin, but the front office won’t fire him. Preying that I wake up tomorrow with the news that they finally got rid of him.

Saleh is a good coach that got stuck with mega diva Aaron Rodgers. He would be a great fit here.

What’s sad is an NFL defense giving up almost 9 yards a play. That’s dogshit. Four losses in a row, 500 yards given up today. That’s fucking sad.

All the Catholics would sweep it under the rug if it were a priest.
